Case in point: Every single thing Microsoft is doing in Windows these days.

Yeah, you need a way to specify what you want with a high degree of both flexibility and specificity. We have a term for that in the industry, it's called "writing code".

The hell does "single-capacity" mean here? The article doesn't specify.

Nah, worse, they'll succeed from their perspective. At the expense of everyone else.

All any file is is just numbers. Opening a file in a program is just interpreting those numbers. To over-simplify, in a plain text file, for example, the number 32 means "space character", and the number 10 means "move down to a new line". In an audio file, the numbers are going to have meaning related to volume and frequency of sound, at points in time.

Absolutely. Like you say, it just doesn't happen in large streams, and the threshold is probably a lot larger than you think, since on average maybe 10% of viewers actually participate in chat. The dynamic starts shifting at around 1,000 simultaneous viewers, in my experience, between chat being readable and interactable, and being just spam. That's still plenty big enough to qualify for partner, and even make a living off of streaming alone.

Whatever primate would have enough hand coordination to write, and/or use sign language. "We found a monkey that can communicate in perfect English, and is asking to speak to the President" is bound to make big headlines.

An additionap note on what a certificate is, to supplement everyone here who've desceibe howbthat's the missing piece:

A certificate's first main purpose is being the vehicle vy which the public key is distributed, but additionally it contains information ABOUT the owner. Then the whole thing is digitally signed with the private key (and also a trusted CA's private key), so that a receiver can validate the authenticity of the cert with the public key.

The "info" in the cert can theoretically be anything, but the most important one is the domain. Your browser knows that visiting google.com is secure because it checks the cert it gets from google.com to see if it states that it owns the google.com domain, and then we trust the root CAs around the world to make clients prove they own that domain, before issung a cert for it.

I also browse exclusively all. I only bother blocking the non-English and porn communities. Looks like that's 315, for me.

Unironically, yes. Everything we had 20 years ago, but worse.
